Ok I have a D 1.3 CDTi (90) for about 2 mths.
and I’m starting to hear loud creaking noises from the centre of the car (near the seat belt mounts both sides) when going around corners sharp some times slow this also happens when going over speed bumps.
what possible causes and do other people have to same problem.



cheers

I have the same problem but sounds like yours is worse it only happens to myn goin slow over a bump. mite get it checked out?

You sure its from the center of the car and not the suspension creaking

 

[allard3]

im sure its the suspension tested it last nite got three of my mates to sit in the back and it went. :\

 

[itfchris]

Ive heard of vx leaving the suspension blocks in on new cars so it might be worth checking that mate,worth a try

 

[TJ]

alot of astra owners had the transport block left in their cars :lol:

 

[46137]

Na no blocks on my one all looked ok.
Dam i'm going to take it back for a better look.

Cheers
for your help

Its more than likely just the suspension creaking its a normal thing for alot of cars, as the springs settle although it can continue nothing to worry about but get it checked anyway wont harm

 

[46137]

Right got the car booked in and checked,
there saying the suspension needs a weld, y would the suspension need welded, is it not better to replace the suspension. so i had to rebook the car in for the weld at the body shop, when i turned up to book i was told that there was 2 corsa's D in with the same thing, and has been there for months, as VX do not know what to do with them, i was told by the manager that there only allowed to remove the parts and take happy snaps and send them to VX, and wait a response. Nice car it is but how do i take it back and get a refund.

You wont get a refund i been fighting for months now. The exact same problem is apparent in my hire car that im currently driving. Im taking speed bumps flat out and driving into every pot hole i can find and its getting worse. Best thing to do is launch a case with customer care and get your dealers to log a case with vaux technical because without those 2 numbers you will get nothing.

jolly good :heelclick: how long did they take to find that out

 

[46137]

first the car was in for 3 days for a looking and told it was suspension, then body panels,ect ect, after 3 weeks wait to rebook, it was in for 1day, i was told it was found by accident "we drove you car in the garage with the door left a bit open and herd the same noise".... (per tech guy).
